Windows 10: Will Windows Subsystem for Android WSA stay executable after 05 March 2025 if already...

Quite recently I bought a PC running Windows 11 and was very glad about the option to also run Android apps in the Windows Subsystem for Android WSA. In fact I have 3 Android apps that I'd like to run, which are not avaible in the Amazon Appstore but have to be installed via APK. Thus I only realised that the support for the WSA will be terminated on 05 March 2025 after having completed the setup two of my apps.Fortunately I haven't already bought the 3rd app.Here's my question: Will WSA stay executable after 05 March 2025, if it is already installed under Windows 11 at that time? Or are the

:)

 

Microsoft is killing off support for the WSA. Would all Android apps, including apps installed by using an APK, will just simply ceases to function after March 5th 2025?

The WSA is generally consisted of the Android OS, and no such the proprietary thing else. There is the kernel of the linux, so WSL have some codes there. There is the libs, the runtime, framework. And no apps. The WSA is merely Android but with no such launcher, neither Google Apps, nor, after March 5 2025, if there's the Amazon Appstore. It needed barely an app to function.

Many users managed to tamper with the WSA to include the Google Play.

Bump my question on my behalf or get the Microsoft, the MVPs, or the mods to reply deeply to the fate of the Windows Subsystem for Android.

NO ONE REALLY WANT TO EXPECT THE WINDOWS SUBSYSTEM FOR ANDROID TO CEASE FUNCTIONING IN 2025.

NOR ARE THERE ANYONE WHO THEY WANT the android apps to suddenly stops working in the date frowned by microsoft.
